X Factor 2015: Who are the 15 groups through to the Six Chair Challenge?
Cheryl's got fifteen groups and only six spaces at her Judges' Houses. So who's in the running? Check out the contenders...
Cheryl isn't a huge fan of the Six Chair Challenge, admitting she did try to get rid of it for this year's series. But ahead of the series launch she did tell us she felt more confident about how she'd approach the dreaded round this year. And having been part of a pretty darn successful girl group, being in charge of the Groups category seems a natural fit.
In this third round of auditions a chair equals a spot at Judges' Houses.
It's not that simple of course. Once on a chair they can be swapped out for another hopeful. Often they're later dramatically swapped back in. Basically, until everyone has performed, those seats are entirely up for grabs.
So who's in the running for Cheryl's category? Check them out below...
